[Music] well good morning copy people we are here in st. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands as you know we've been staying on this amazing 155 foot super yacht called the Loon got some amazing friends down here and we've just been having the most amazing time of my life going down the slide swimming in the pool tarpon fishing at night and eating amazing dinners with our family but today we have a mission we're gonna go out we're gonna take our spinning rods use a little chicken rig little cubby red we're gonna catch a bunch of little bait and then we're gonna go try to catch yellowtail snapper the chef has some amazing recipe worked up for tonight but you can't do it unless he has fresh yellowtail so that is the order of the day this is my little buddy Carson right here you ready all right [Music] these are the three that we caught we call it the most of these that's called a scaled sardine that is a small goggle eye or bigeye SCAD and that is a Spanish sardine all three of them are great baits work very very well and hopefully we're able to catch some fish with them all right so we're just getting you to spot that Island over there is called cockroach this one's called cricket yesterday when we got in the water I saw a pile of really nice sized yellowtail snapper to come up here and see if we can catch him I've already thought and the ice Brian made up that's just ice in salt water anytime you're gonna catch yellowtail snapper make sure you have a brine that will cool him down super fast it'll make their meat nice and firm that's going to really improve its food quality get blood on the bottom to droppers use a whole circle hooks there's a little clear spark right from the nose that you hook them that's perfect that will allow them to swim freely and you can it right around here is perfect [Music] to beit's good to go I
